Voltammetric techniques have been considered as important methods among the analytical techniques used for the identification and determination of trace concentrations of many biological molecules such as L-ascorbic acid (AA). L-ascorbic acid is an electro-active molecule, though it is difficult to determine its value directly with a majority of electrodes made of carbon and transition metals, ...

Suspensions of polyaniline-coated latex particles 13 μm in diameter showed the integer-fold voltammetric currents at the microelectrode of which size was similar to the diameter of the particles. The currents did not vary with concentrations of polyaniline particles but varied accidentally with each voltammetric run. They were caused by the reduction of a few polyaniline particles adsorbed on t...

Thin-film gold electrodes were produced by radio-frequency sputtering using a polyvinyl chloride foil as substrate. The voltammetric behavior was characterized in various electrolyte solutions. In alkaline and neutral aqueous solutions reliable voltammetric measurements can be performed while in acidic media some nondefined phenomena occur. A novel type of electrode for batch injection analysis...

The ability of cyclic square wave voltammetry to identify distinct fingerprints of multiple vitamins, in a single voltammetric run, is demonstrated. This method represents an efficient alternative to more common techniques for fast screening of complex vitamin mixtures or commercial tablets due to its low cost, high speed and sensitivity.

Nitrate and nitrite ions were found to be successfully electroreduced at an in situ electrochemically pretreated copper electrode in acidic media, and their reduction peaks of a cyclic voltammogram were found at two distinct electrode potentials. Cyclic voltammetric experiments revealed a highly sensitive behavior of the pretreated copper electrode upon the electroreduction of nitrate and nitri...

Screen printed carbon electrode (SPCE) has been modified with single wall carbon nanotube/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (SWCNT/PEDOT) composites for the determination of phenol and chlorophenols (phenol, 4-chlorophenol, 2,4-dichlorophenol, and 2,4,6-trichlorophenol). The effect of the modifiers on the electrode characteristics was evaluated and the responses were optimized for the voltammetr...

We have developed a simple, convenient and inexpensive voltammetric method for determining trace Sudan I contamination in chili powder, based on the catalyzed electrochemical reduction of Sudan I at the carbon nanotube modified electrode. Under optimized conditions, the method exhibited acceptable analytical performance in terms of linearity (over the concentration range 6.0×10-7 to 7.5×10-5 M,...

A voltammetric electronic tongue to classify five different types of edible oil samples is described in this study. The standard three-electrode configuration composes the sensor array: gold electrode, platinum electrode and saturated calomel electrode. Using cyclic voltammetric measurement, respectively, on five different types of edible oil samples (peanut oil, corn oil, soybean oil, sesame o...

We report here a new voltammetric method for the sensitive and selective determination of Hg(2+) based on rational covalent functionalization of graphene oxide with cysteamine to form cysteamine-functionalized graphene through nucleophilic ring-opening reaction between the epoxy of graphene oxide and the amino group of cysteamine in KOH solution.

Anionic detergents have been shown to lower markedly the differential-pulse voltammetric peak currents obtained for 12-molybdophosphate and 12molybdosilicate in aqueous solutions, but when ethanol water or acetone water (1 + 1 V / V ) solutions are used there is no interference. Static differential-pulse voltammetric and flow injection voltammetric procedures have been developed for the determi...
